A 24-year old security researcher who worked for the Malwarebytes security company was arrested and narrowly avoided jail for hacking into Microsoft and then hacking into Nintendo while on bail.
As reported by The Verge, Zammis Clark, also known as Slipstream or Raylee, admitted to hacking into Microsoft and Nintendo servers and stealing confidential information, including 43,000 files from Microsoft's internal Windows flighting servers which contain pre-release versions of Windows.
Clark gained access to a Microsoft server on January 24, 2017, and proceeded to upload a "web shell to remotely access Microsoft’s network freely for at least three weeks. Clark then uploaded multiple shells which allowed him to search through Microsoft’s network, upload files, and download data."
